Weird Al's Polka Party! (1986), Tracks 7-12

On this episode, Weird Al has finally made a monkey out of us. Our latest batch of reconstructed mid-'80s pop hits includes lots of drum machines, two covers of '60s classics (to varying degrees of success), a cameo from Danny Aiello's brief and inexplicable recording career, and an ode to Mozart for people who hate every ape they see, from chimpan-A to chimpanzee.

Songs:

The Rolling Stones - Harlem Shuffle
Bananarama - Venus
Janet Jackson - Nasty
Falco - Rock Me Amadeus
Tears for Fears - Shout
Madonna - Papa Don't Preach

Co-hosts: Rich Bunnell, John McFerrin, Libby Cudmore
